There is one distinguished American I should like to see in cluded in any recognition of Black Americans. This is Dr. Charles Drew, a physician whose pioneer ing work made possible the preservation of blood plasma and the establishment of blood banks. Charles Drew did his undergraduate work at Amherst College in Massachusetts, where he was a top scholar, football star, and captain of the track team. He studied medicine at McGill University Medical School, and stayed in Montreal for his intern ship and residency programs. He returned to the States to teach at Howard University College of Medicine, and in 1938 received a Rockefeller Fellowship for graduate work at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. His dissertation, entitled “Banked Blood: a Study of Blood Preserva tion”, introduced the principle of storing plasma rather than whole blood. In 1940, with the Nazi blitz of London in full blast, Dr. Drew was i called upon to head the “Blood for Britain” project, in which he suc , ceeded in solving the many pro blems involved in producing and storing blood plasma on a massive scale. In 1941 he became the first director of a new U.S. program to collect and store blood plasma for the armed forces. Ironically, the Military established a policy that non-Caucasian blood would be unacceptable for U.S. fighting men, and Dr. Drew resigned to protest this affront to his race and to medicine in general. The ultimate irony occurred in 1950, when he was badly injured in a car accident near Greensboro, N.C. while travelling to a medical meeting in Alabama. He was taken to a segregated hospital which had no blood plasma that might have saved his life. Dr. Drew’s work resulted in saving may thousands of lives in World War II, and countless thousands since then. It was highly appropriate that in 19B1 Dr. Drew was the subject of a com morative stamp in the U.S. Postal Department’s Great Americans Series. He was truly one of the greats of American Medicine.

Quilt Lovers Dear Sir: On behalf of the Quilt Lovers Guild, I would like to thank the people of Pasquotank, Per quimans, Chowan, Dare, Gates, and Currituck counties for a most successful Quilt Documentation Day on February 22nd. The coverage we received in your paper really reached the multitudes and resulted in a record breaking day. I think we can call the whole seven counties “Quilt Lovers.” This is a very rich area to have so many beautiful quilts and so many people who value them. It was truly a feast for the eye and at times a lump in the throat when we felt the story and histories unfold before us. We were overwhelmed at the turn out. As more than 150 people learned, we had to stop taking quilts to pro cess them. We did take their names, and they will be called to a make up day so that their quilts can be documented. I can’t begin to tell you how pa tient and understanding people were. The lines were long and the quilts piled high but not once did we hear “a discouraging word.” I think they might have been en joying the “quilt show” as we were. We also want to thank all of the volunteers who came and worked. They came from our seven coun ties plus Greenville and Tidewater (I even had a “customer” or two pitch in) to help and we couldn’t have done it without them. It was an exciting day we won’t soon forget. Sincerely, Jackie (Mrs. V.M.)
